For music lovers, the Twin Cities scene is hard to beat any time of year. The sheer diversity of performers and venues is a testament to Twin Citians themselves. From the dearly departed Prince, to Bob Dylan, The Replacements, Atmosphere and many more, Minneapolis-St. Paul is often ranked among the top music destinations in the country.

It’s no wonder, then, why so many amazing acts flock here in and around the holiday season to blend with our homegrown faves into some truly one-of-a-kind concert opportunities. Some of our top picks for this holiday season are the incomparable Twin Cities Gay Men’s Choir; world-renowned, Minnesota native pianist Lorie Line, and VocalEssence. Of course if you can nab some tickets to the infamous Trans-Siberian Orchestra or Mannheim Steamroller, both are more than worthy of the price as well.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a greater repertoire of performing arts to choose from not only during the holiday season, but year round. So get out and enjoy one—or several—of our top picks. You won’t be disappointed.
